The blooms are soft and beautifully refined — a gentle, sun-warmed creamy yellow that harmonizes with near-universal ease across the spring palette, from cool lavender-blues and crisp whites to warm corals and deep burgundies — making 'Yellow' one of the most garden-versatile and designer-valued Kirigami selections available. Graceful, characteristic long nectar spurs extend behind each nodding flower, and the deeply lobed, soft blue-green ferny foliage provides delicate textural contrast and cottage-garden character throughout the full growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis professional-grade 4\" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and build toward its generous spring display.
